27...26...25...24....

OK, so maybe we don't have any baby chicks now, but they'll be here March 24! I'm counting down the days. When they get here, I'll take tons of pics and blog about their lifes! We know we're going to get 6 Americauna's, and we're ordering 24 Americauna's from McMurray Hatchery to raise for my grandpa. We might even order a couple cochins with them! I hope we can even get a couple of ducks!!...but that's highly unlikely. So check back on or after March 24!!! Thanks a ton!

About Me

I love chickens and have plenty of them. It all started in 2006, when I started the 4-H Chick-Chain project and received 28 chicks. We continue adding to our mess of birds each year. We received 44 little chicks in the mail in late March of 2008 and also hatched chicks for the first time, and those little babies are now grown hens. This past year we bought some different breeds from the Co-op, along with 4 ducklings. Our chicken breeds consist of Polish, Cochins, RIRs, Ameraucanas, many many Silkies, and lots of other fun breeds. We have six ducks, who go all about the backyard like a gang. Our total amount of poultry is currently around 40.
